Does anyone else feel bad for Naomi Watts? Reportedly, she gave one of the best performances of her career in The Impossible, and she garnered nominations in every major award show, and it conceivably could have been her year… and then nothing. She didn’t win anything. She got shoved to the side by Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain. So maybe it was time, Naomi thought, to change up her look. Nothing too dramatic, but something fresh to shake off a slightly bad run. These are photos of Naomi in Paris for the Louis Vuitton show yesterday – she’s showing off a new bob! Just FYI, this is how she looked during the awards season:

See? It’s not a super-dramatic cut, but it’s still notable. I think her bob is really cute! Compared to her old hairstyle, this seems so fresh and clean and youthful-yet-adult. SO much better than midlife crisis (or breakup) bangs. I would be all for it if this was the new trend: ladies taking out their extensions and/or cutting off their overprocessed lengthy hair to something fresh and clean.

When I was looking through the photos of the Louis Vuitton show, I came across these pics of Lily Collins, who was also at the show. I think she came into Paris just for this show, actually. Um… I know Lainey has talked about how thin Lily has gotten, but her weight loss seems especially dramatic in these photos. It’s like half of her face is gone! All I see are bones and brows. Not a good look! Why do all of these young girls think that this super-skinny look is the ideal? It’s like a generation of girls aspire to be Kate Bosworth, and I’m sorry, but that’s ridiculous. Look at Bosworth’s career! Who wants THAT?

Reese Witherspoon said she hadn’t been so moved by a performance since a long ago performance by Meryl Streep. Maybe Sophie’s Choice? I think she even wrote Naomi a letter praising her performance. Anyway, I want to see Naomi’s movie.
She looks great in these photos.

If you have never seen the movie, The Painted Veil, with Naomi and Ed Norton, Liev Schrieber, rent it. It’s a sweeping, epic movie based in China.

Haven’t seem the original, but the one with Watts and Norton is beautiful. Absolutely loved it, it’s one of the films always keep on standby and near my TV.
I always end up wanting to pat Edward Norton’s character on the head; he starts off so quaint and sweet!

Bring tissues when you watch The Impossible, I don’t remember ever crying that much when watching a movie. Her performance is incredible. And the boy who plays her son, Tom Holland, should have been nominated for every award, he’s amazing.

Yup. I was shocked by that first picture. Her lower face in particular looks really bloated. Yes, I know even a small difference in hair style can change the appearance of your face quite a lot, but this deffo reeks of botox, and more. The other photos aren’t so bad, but Naomi does appear to have had work done, and not in a good way.

I love her hair cut its a really good length on her face, very flattering. She was fantastic in the impossible but it felt more like a supporting role then lead I thought, it would of been nice for Tom Holland to get some award recognition this year.

Yeah, I don’t think she looks that thin. She looks healthy to me! Then again I don’t think I ever took much notice of what she looked like before…on another note Naomi looks great and I will be needing the bag she’s carrying here.

The oscars is strange. Naomi did a very good job in impossible, more depth to the performance. I actually found Jennifer lawrence great in the start of SLP but then she seemed to overact in the end, showing she was a young actress w a lot to learn. What is best actress at the oscars really judging, popularity, who is up and coming?

I don’t know about Lily Collins. Sometimes I think she looks too thin, sometimes she just looks thinner but still healthy. Depends on the outfit, I guess. There certainly was no need, though, for her to loose any weight in the first place!

I saw the Impossible and I do not get why she was nominated for anything. She was passed out pretty much the whole movie and what “acting” I did see from her wasn’t moving in any way. I am completely gobsmacked that that so many people thought she was Oscar worthy in this. I just do not get it.

Maybe I’m just bitter because my hair is not super-long anymore but I would be psyched to see some new shorter hair styles. The extensions and long, flowing locks has been around for at least a decade now…

How much is her Louis Vuitton bag? Just wondering. I especially love the mint colored bag! Plus, I like her hair…she looks younger. To the woman who said she’d like to see some shorter styles come out, I agree…for some women, anyway. I like fresh, shorter styles in the spring.

Naomi is gorgeous, and the new hairstyle is a nice change; she looks great. Now, as for her talent, it is enormous, I can’t think of a movie she has been in that I haven’t been impressed with the depth of her acting. I was truly hoping that this would be her year, as her acting in Impossible is Oscar worthy, moreso than the other talented contenders. I only hope the Academy finally recognizes her with Best Actress sooner than later. And, yes, the haircut, outfit, and bag are drool worthy!!!

Gosh that hair looks fug on her!!! This is the only time I’ve ever seen her look less than amazing. Her stylist either hates her guts or is incompetant. The hair makes her normally gorgeous face look bottom heavy and blubbery.

I really like Naomi’s new cut. She’s always been a looker, but let’s face it, she’s not 25 anymore. She’s definitely had work done, and probably the swelling is yet to go down completely. Let’s talk again in a couple of weeks.
